China Gives WoW China Non-Approval

Just as Chinese players expected to finally get Wrath of the Lich King later this month, China's GAPP has given NetEase (China's World of Warcraft operator) its non-approval which means NetEase needs to stop taking in subscriptions and new sign-ups. This is strange as the content was already approved while being run by the former operator The9, which may (or may not?) mean this will be overturned.

Also, this just may have been a problem for Netease as they have been collecting subscription fees for quite some time now, which they weren't supposed to be doing without official GAPP approval. What makes this even stranger is that NetEase hasn't had any communication with the GAPP other than the official press release on the GAPP website.

This just goes to show that comuinist government's are a failure of a polical system.The people of china work tirelessly in sweat shops and work camps they're schools deny free expression.

The main reason for this ban on worldofwarcraft is to stop children from ''slacking off'' from their studying as was the reason for intervening in other media such as music and writing.

They indoctrinate them into mindless robots who will fight to the death for the good of their corrupt government, to them a single life means nothing, they should all share the same opinions and goals and all go towards ''the greater good''.

This is the reason why America and the west is by far superior to these comuinist waysI will now direct you to a link that the chineise government denies to it's people which I feel is relevent:

This demonstrates no such thing. The theory behind communism in no way describes the level of inane censorship and other such idiocy that the Chinese government propagates; that is the flawed decision of the government officials.

Censorship is a huge part of every comuinist government.Comuinism requires a government to have supreme power and influence on the people of the country as soon as people start thinking for themselves the sooner they realise that the lazy guy across the road working 6 hours a week as a bin man (idk much about the wast management industry but I presume this is the working hours) is earning the same amount as you the highly educated docter who works 48 hours streight

As someone stated over on wow.com: They're looking for a bribe. I'd stake my account on it.

I'd Like to Point out China is only communist in name. It has private enterprise, Currency, etc. These things were not in the Manifesto, and as a matter of fact, I'm pretty sure private enterprise is one of the things communism is against. Oh, and if a doctor makes enough money, he hires people to do the hard jobs like anesthesia, shots and so on. My doctor has never once administered me a shot. The Doctors you see get the big paychecks work the same amount in an easier job than waste management.

It's not corrupt to them. Different cultures, different ideas.

Did you know, it's as weird as us bribing government as it is tipping a waiter/ess in China or Japan.

I know it's not the same level, but unless you've been there. Please don't be ignorant.

Learn about China, communism, how the CCP was formed first, then report back to me, a chinese fellow.

Stop bashing China for its communism, because you have no idea about the origins, and how the government works.

You think America and the West is not corrupt? They just don't tell you.

Comuinism works by opressing freedom and free expression.

EDIT: And the west is not corrupt by any standards near the comuinists

Have you lived in China, or ever been there?Unless you have, don't say what you don't know.

You're being ignorant.

And it's communism, get it spelt right before you preach its flaws.

Ah, so you don't deny the West aren't corrupt, just not as much.

You're a fine example of hyprocrisy.

Well, there you go then. Unless your own government is corrupt free and in its purest form, buddy, stop the China bashing, and go have a beer.

communism in China and north corea is the most corrupt political systems in the world. Even cuba still has some kind of idealism left inside the crap.China + NK has none, they are only interested in keeping the same corrupt goverment, oppressing he people to keep that machine (China) working. What people would like is irrelevant with what they should do. People should do what is gonna help the leaders of the communistic party sometimes called also as greater good
